In the early morning of the next day, the sun had just jumped out of the gray sea, and the small half round of purple-red flames immediately illuminated the dim sky, and behind the bright morning glow, it seemed to open an endless blue satin.

The morning sun, as big as the wheel of an ox-cart and as bright red as molten iron, with a thin burst of light, sat on the eastern sea, as if it had lifted the veil of mist with its hands.

At about two o'clock, in the Xuanzheng Hall of Daming Palace in the Imperial City of Luoyang City, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji was dealing with the political affairs of the early dynasty here, and sitting next to him was the most favored concubine in his harem - Concubine Wu Hui.

Since the death of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's wife Empress Wang, he has not set up another queen in the harem, and the position of the queen in the harem has been undecided, and although Concubine Wu Hui does not have the status of a queen, the courtesy to her in the palace is equivalent to that of the queen.

Concubine Wu Hui's identity is actually very promising, she is the daughter of Wu Youzhi, the king of Heng'an, and the cousin of Wu Zetian, the former queen of heaven. Because his father died of illness when he was young, he was sent to the palace to be raised by Wu Zetian according to custom. When the Wu Zhou Dynasty collapsed, she was reduced to a small palace maid. But by the time Tang Xuanzong ascended the throne, she had grown into a slim girl, which attracted the attention of Tang Xuanzong. The Wu family has a well-behaved temperament and is good at greeting, and soon won the favor of Tang Xuanzong, and gradually became a special pet room, accompanying him day and night.

Because of Wu Youzhi's early death, Concubine Wu Hui has been raised in the palace since she was a child. After Li Longji ascended the throne, he was very fond of the Wu family. In the twelfth year of Kaiyuan, Xuanzong abolished the queen of the main family and named Wu as Concubine Hui. Although she was only made a concubine, the courtesy to her in the palace was equivalent to that of a queen. His mother Yang was named Mrs. Zheng Guo, and his younger brothers Wu Zhong and Wu Xin were also promoted to knighthood respectively.

And she is also the only concubine in the harem who can follow Tang Xuanzong in the early dynasty, which shows how deep Tang Xuanzong's love for her will be.

"If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat from", Jia Jingzhong, the eunuch of the ceremonial rites, who was standing behind Tang Xuanzong, looked at the ministers under the high platform without squinting, ignoring Tang Xuanzong and Concubine Wu Hui, who were playing and laughing with each other, and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, Weichen Taichang Temple Taichangqing, there is something to report today, please ask Your Majesty to make the decision for Weichen", one of the ministers standing below said loudly.

"Oh, it turned out to be the Taichang Qing family of Taichang Temple. Isn't your Taichang Temple just a time when it's usually fine, in charge of the mausoleum temple group rituals, rituals and rituals and other things, I don't know if you have anything to tell me", at this time, Tang Xuanzong stopped fighting with Concubine Wu Hui, and asked Taichangqing who stood up from among the ministers curiously.

"Your Majesty, according to the news that Weichen has received, around midnight last night, the Dragon King Temple, which is dedicated to the Dragon King of the Four Seas, was attacked by killers in the Nancheng District of Guocheng District, Luoyang City, the capital of my dynasty, and the guards and soldiers guarding the Dragon King Temple were all killed by the enemy, and no one survived, even Master Ruiyun from the Xiangguo Temple where the national teacher was located was also killed, and the official prostitutes of Yanzilou, who was previously a sacrifice to the Dragon King, were also quietly gone. The Dragon King Temple is in a mess, there are corpses and blood stains everywhere, there will be such a tragic thing in my Tang Dynasty Capital, it really makes me anxious and uneasy, and I ask Your Majesty to make the decision for the dead people in the Dragon King Temple", Tai Changqing said in a respectful and terrified tone to Tang Xuanzong on the golden dragon chair.

"What? The Dragon King Temple was attacked, and there would be such a thing in the capital of my Tang Dynasty", Tang Taizong was very angry about this, "Where is the Dali Temple?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen is here", Chi Zhenjin, the secretary of Dali Temple, heard Tang Xuanzong calling him, and hurriedly stood up and responded.

"What's going on with your Dali Temple? The last Dragon King's anger has not been investigated clearly, and now there is another attack on the Dragon King Temple, do you think that my Tang Dynasty is not chaotic enough, and next time, is it the news of my assassination in the palace?" In the capital of the Tang Dynasty, there can be gangsters who are rampant and domineering, and they have even been killed in the face of the imperial court, it seems that you really don't want the head of Wei Chi Zhenjin", Tang Xuanzong's face turned blue at this time, and he asked very angrily.

"This ...... , Your Majesty, Weichen is not very clear about the situation. In the past few days, Wechen has followed His Majesty's will and used all the forces of Dali Temple to investigate the Dragon King's anger in the past two days.

Concubine Wu Hui, who was sitting next to Tang Xuanzong, saw Tang Xuanzong's angry face, and hurriedly comforted him softly: "Oops, oops, don't your majesty be angry." You look angry, the concubines are so scared, just leave this kind of thing to the ministers, why bother Your Majesty. Seeing His Majesty's angry appearance, the concubine was also very distressed. ”

"Good, good, good, what Concubine Ai said is yes, since Concubine Ai doesn't like the way I look angry, I won't be angry. After going down to the court, I accompanied Concubine Ai to take a walk in the imperial garden, and Concubine Ai said that it was okay", Tang Xuanzong hurriedly changed his smiling expression to Concubine Wu Hui.

"The concubine is just a little woman, so naturally it is up to Your Majesty to decide", Concubine Wu Hui said with a smile on her face.

"You little villain, you know how to make me happy, tell me how I can leave you. By the way, I heard that the national teacher has recently refined a furnace of elixirs for beauty and beauty, yin and blood in Xiangguo Temple, who do you say I should give it to", Tang Xuanzong smiled and pinched Concubine Wu Hui's delicate little nose and said.

"Your Majesty, I don't want you to bully people like this. Your Majesty can give it to whoever he wants, isn't there still Concubine Zhao Li, Huangfu Deyi, and Liu Cairen in the harem? Since Your Majesty doesn't want to give it to your concubine, why should you tell your concubine that the concubine is just a lonely little woman. Your Majesty, you don't care about the concubines, let the concubines fend for themselves in the harem, the concubines don't care", as she spoke, the tears in Concubine Wu Hui's eyes were already flowing down her cheeks, with a heartbroken expression.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, don't cry. If I don't want to give it to you, how can I tell you, you are my intimate beauty, who will I give it to if I don't give it to you? You can't say such things in the future, you know? I won't allow it", Tang Xuanzong saw Concubine Wu Hui crying, and hurriedly hugged her in his arms, explaining helplessly.

"I know that Your Majesty is the best for your concubines, and your concubines know", Concubine Wu Hui immediately felt like a flower on her face after hearing Tang Xuanzong's words, and her tears were gone.

"You, it's really a headache for me......", Tang Xuanzong looked at Concubine Wu Hui's blooming smile, and the dissatisfaction and anger in his heart disappeared in an instant.

"Yu Chi Zhenjin listens to the order", Tang Xuanzong's voice changed, looked at the ministers below, and shouted sharply.

"The minister is here", Yu Chi Zhenjin, who heard the shout, hurriedly responded.

"Immediately send someone to isolate the Dragon King Temple, and do not allow any idle people to approach, and those who violate the order will be killed. At the same time, he ordered people to block all news about the Dragon King Temple to prevent panic among the people. There are also the people of Dali Temple under your command to find out the anger of the Dragon King before, and the attack on the Dragon King Temple this time, all related to the Dragon King, they should be done by the same force, and this matter is now urgent. At this time, it is not that I have to persecute you and embarrass you, but that the Tongtian Futu, which symbolizes the supreme imperial power of my Tang Dynasty, has reached a critical moment when it is about to be completed, and I don't want anything to go wrong at this time. The ten-day period has passed quickly, if you can't find any news when I ask you next time, don't keep your head, do you understand?

Although, after the current Tang Xuanzong created a prosperous era, he gradually began to be satisfied, indulged in pleasure, and lost the previous spirit of hard work, nor the frugal wind of reform. Especially after having Concubine Wu Hui, Tang Xuanzong's extravagance became more and more popular, and ministers, nobles, and clans voted for the emperor's favor in order to tie up with the emperor, and as a result, the people who made her happy were promoted, which stimulated more bureaucrats and nobles to meet and compete for delicacies and precious jewelry. The entire Tang Dynasty began to gradually become chaotic.

However, no matter how greedy for pleasure and extravagance and corruption, he is also a generation of Tang emperors who once took the throne from Princess Taiping and single-handedly created the Tang Dynasty's "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era", his subjective judgment ability is still there, he has seen the signs of the gradual decline of the imperial power of the Tang Dynasty, therefore, in order to consolidate the status of imperial power, he is also trying his best to make up for it, but because several years of luxurious life have killed his early years of knowing people and being good, rewarding and punishing clearly, and being able and decisive to do things, and leaving a brutal, selfish, He has a disposition that does not distinguish between right and wrong, and the means he wants to carry out are rough and simple.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Wechen received the order, and Wechen will do his best to find out the truth and live up to His Majesty's love", Yu Chi Zhenjin said.

"I hope so, retreat from the dynasty", Tang Xuanzong stood up and left the Xuanzheng Hall without looking back with Concubine Wu Hui.

"Your Majesty has an order, retreat from the court," Jia Jingzhong, the eunuch of the ceremonial rites, shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty has an order to retreat. ”

"Your Majesty has an order to retreat. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty," the ministers below shouted in unison.
